You shouldn't disable Spotlight completely; Apple's App Store relies on it to keep track of updates to software you've downloaded and permit you to update them when they're available. Instead, in Spotlight preferences, uncheck everything in "Search Results." Spotlight will still run for OS and App Store purposes but won't be useful for your search needs any longer. Instead, check out EasyFind in the App Store. It's fast, flexible, and will search external drives Spotlight hasn't indexed.

  • Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
    There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
    Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
    Good luck.

  • How to get the search option when we are creating new view

    Hi,
    How to get the search functionality when we are creating new view.
    Ex:- if we see the standard component BT112S_SC. Under this
    AdvancedSP  is the view,
    same kind of view if i want to create new view with same bol entity in my new component. I am unable to get that search functionality.
    for search functionality,,i think view should inherit the super class CL_BTSRV_ADVS_CNTRL, but in my new view controller class, i am unable to find this class.
    Can anybody give me some inputs on this.
    Thanks,
    neelam

  • Slow down after new update

    How many people are experiencing a major slow down and internet loss after the latest AirPort update. I've been having a lot of trouble. Also does anyone know how to fix it?

    Ok, found a solution that may work. I found an application called appzapper. You can find it in mac os x/downloads here on the apple site. it is shareware but you get 5 free zaps, so good enough. download the program and then find the update package /library/receipts/airport20060001.pkg. drag the package onto appzapper. Bang no more update(at leat i think) I had to restart and when i did i had my full 54mb connectivity and i could again find my g5 on the network for file sharing. hope this helps.

  • How do I translate word perfect old files for my new iMac?

    How do I translate Word Perfect old files for my new iMac?  They are transferred from a 13-year-old Dell.  My McLink did not work.
    Thanks.

    The current version of the free LibreOffice continues to support Word Perfect documents. OpenOffice had to drop this support due to licensing issues. LO installs in two places: /Applications and your local Library/Application Support directory. Simple to install. Simple to remove. Good PDF documentation from their site. It is a capable MS Office replacement.
    I just opened a wpd legal deposition in LO and it looked fine.

    how can i sync numbers from my ipad to my new imac?

    If you mean spreadsheets from within the Numbers app on your iPad to your computer's iTunes then there are instructions here. If you mean that you want to copy the Numbers app from the iPad to your computer then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases; but if you want to use Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X version.

  • How to disable spotlight searches inside packages

    Hi,
    I tagged all my files inside my document folder, now I'd like to create and save a smart folder searching for all the untagged files, just in case I create or move a file to that folder without tagging it first.
    The problem is that I have several files, which are packages with other files in them (created with Scrivener, Devonthink, OmniOutliner...). These other files aren't tagged (and I don't need nor want to tag them) so they are showed in my spotlight search.
    I can't exclude the folders containing these files in spotlight preference, since there are a lot of them and I often create new files of these kinds.
    I would like to tell spotlight not to search inside packages. Is that possible?
    thanks in advance,
    pietro

    Thanks!

    Hello Justrain
    If you click on....
    Blue Apple ( top left of your screen there ) > System Preferences > Accounts > Log in items.
    Is preview highlighted there?
    If it is, you can " de-select " it from the list. That should cure the problem for you. I hope it does.
